No Con-science?

“To date, more than 20 Nobel Prize winners have had papers retracted”

The politicization of the university.  Agenda and narrative driven "education".  Add in the natural tendency of left-leaning people to the academic life vs. doing and accomplishing real things.  Mix in government grants that often have a specific goal/outcome in mind when the studies are funded.  Is anyone surprised that "science" and "scientists" are losing their credibility?

20+ Nobel Laureates' papers retracted?!?  Amazing.  And, sadly, not so amazing.

It is a bit of a long read.

DEI Math, DIE.

Let us take the numbers out of math.  Then the outcomes will be . . . still different but not so numerically starkly different that the results are prima facie scientific evidence of differences in cognitive abilities.  It's just (kind of) science.

If you weren’t paying attention.  Math is now racist and oppressive to folks work low test scores.    Ha    I joke.   Or do I?

The algo is weird.  Often political videos won’t embed.  Some liberal lady on the news saying 2+2 is not 4 it is racist and could be 5 if we’re being objective

I would argue it could be 3.2841.   Prove me wrong.

I think it’s 1.618 though

2+2=4pi/pi

I’ll bet they’d figure out how to do math using numbers if you took away their gov’t checks.

That is just so crazy  .....   It just might work!!!!!

The irony is that none of you so-call education experts took the time to educate yourselves. Instead you let someone do the thinking for you, even though they got it wrong.

Can't make this shiit up. Even though it is made up.

Show me where this is wrong.    2+2=4pi/pi

You have Harvard President plagiarizing her papers.   It is not that far fetched that scientists fudged data.   Remember Cold Fusion?

Never said it was wrong. But the usual suspects cannot bother to read what they post and take it a step further and read what is referenced in what they post. Instead they latch on to what they want to believe is true. The funniest part is that they are complaining about education while showing their own lack of education.
